No confusion on my part. Im saying that you are confusing the stroke with the cut. If I am right in this claim then that falsifies your entire "analysis".

Obviously you have not thought this through or are not sufficiently familiar with scientific method. Rudimentary trigonometri does not science make.

If "basic straight cut" and "how good" it is isn't properly defined, there is no possibility to claim "better" or "no better than".

You seem to be attempting a quantitative description of the (inherently?) qualitative experience of a bbs-creating stroke of a straight razor?
